An international narcotics investigation that included the seizure of more than 5,000 pills containing fentanyl in Iredell County has yielded a long prison sentence for a New York man.
U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. announced on Thursdaythat Robert Ian Thatcher, 31, of Elmira, N.Y., who was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, U-47700 and 100 grams or more of furanyl fentanyl, was sentenced to serve 23 years in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci Jr.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett A. Harvey, who handled the case, stated that the defendant, along with co-conspirator Maximillian Sams, ran a large-scale opioid manufacturing and trafficking organization in the Southern Tier of New York and northern Pennsylvania between 2015 and May 2017. As part of the conspiracy, Thatcher and Sams imported bulk quantities of furanyl fentanyl and U-47700 from overseas suppliers China. They ordered the furanyl fentanyl and U-47700 on what is known as "the dark web," and used different people and addresses in New York and Pennsylvania to receive the shipments. The defendant and Sams purchased equipment and materials – including pill presses/mechanical tableting machines, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose magnesium stearate, and powdered food coloring – which they used to manufacture tens of thousands blue pills containing furanyl fentanyl and U-47700. The pills were made to look like legitimate 30 milligram Percocet pills.
At least two individuals – a 21-year-old female, and a 31-year-old male – died after ingesting the blue pills containing furanyl fentanyl and U-47700. In addition, at least one individual – identified as J.M. – overdosed on more than one occasion after using the blue pills manufactured, but survived after being treated by first responders with Narcan.
Thatcher and Sams used residences in Sayre, Pa., and Catlin, N.Y., to manufacture and process the pills for distribution. During the execution of a search warrant at the Sayre location on May 16, 2017, law enforcement agents recovered, among other things, 244 blue pills containing furanyl fentanyl, four long guns and ammunition. In addition, during the execution of a search warrant at the Catlin location on May 18, 2017, law enforcement agents recovered, among other things, materials used by the defendant and Sams to manufacture the pills for distribution. During the conspiracy, Thatcher also possessed several firearms at the Pennsylvania location and his residence in Elmira.
After manufacturing the pills, the defendant and Sams would distribute them in large quantities to other co-conspirators – including Anthony Prettyman, Jesus Rivera, Terrance Washington, and Dwayne Banks, who would then distribute the pills to various street-level customers in the Elmira area.
Pills were also supplied to an individual in the Charlotte area. As part of the conspiracy, Sams used co-conspirator Anthony Prettyman, 28, to transport 5,330 blue pills containing furanyl fentanyl from Elmira to North Carolina in October 2016.
On October 25, 2016, deputies with the Iredell County Sheriff's Office Interstate Criminal Enforcement Team conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle in which Prettyman was traveling. During a subsequent search, the deputies recovered and seized a paint can with a false bottom containing the 5,330 blue pills from inside Prettyman's vehicle.
In early 2017, Thatcher arranged for a package of furanyl fentanyl, that he ordered over the dark web, to be sent to co-conspirator Carlito Rios Jr. On March 13, 2017, Customs and Border Protection officers at the John F. Kennedy International Airport Mail Branch in Queens, N.Y., examined a U.S. Postal Service package addressed to co-conspirator Rios in Elmira. The sender was listed as an entity in China. Upon inspection, the package was found to contain approximately 249 grams of furanyl fentanyl. The defendant and Sams intended to use the seized furanyl fentanyl to manufacture and distribute additional quantities of the blue pills.
To date, 13 members and associates of the defendant's opioid manufacturing and trafficking operation have been convicted of federal narcotics offenses. Each of those defendants is awaiting sentencing.
Among them are Thatcher's girlfriend, Amber Bates, who was convicted of money laundering conspiracy and sentenced to five years probation to include six months of home detention. In addition, Elmira resident Isaiah McLaurin was convicted in September 2017 of witness tampering, after he made threats on Facebook against an individual working with the Drug Enforcement Administration during the investigation. Chief Judge Geraci sentenced McLaurin to 57 months in federal prison.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Rochester Resident Office and Scranton PA Resident Office, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Ray Donovan, New York Field Division; the New York State Police, Community Narcotics Enforcement Team Southern Tier, under the direction of Major Mary Clark and Lieutenant Kevin P. Sucher; the Elmira Police Department, under the direction of Chief Joseph Kane; Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Kevin Kelly; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge John B. Devito, New York Field Division; the Pennsylvania State Police, under the direction of Acting Commissioner Lieutenant Colonel Robert Evanchick; the Chemung County Sheriff's Office, under the direction of Christopher J. Moss; the Iredell County Sheriff's Office NC, under the direction of Sheriff Darren E. Campbell, and Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Unit, under the direction of Director Brian Manaher. Additional assistance was provided by the Northeast Regional Laboratory.

Letters to the Editor for Sunday, May 26, 2019
The conspiracy comes crashing down
It wasn't supposed to go in this direction.
It was a masterful plan, worthy of a dictator of a banana republic. The country's leader used the full force of government — FBI, CIA, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security and a handful of other agencies — to prevent the election of the opposition candidate and to preserve his own "legacy." They spread lies about the candidate, even going so far as to accuse him of treason.
They concocted, with the aid of a former British spy and a few Russians, a fairy tale of a "dossier" to bolster their case. Then they lied to the FISA court in order to obtain multiple warrants to spy on several American citizens. They also destroyed incriminating evidence, buried exculpatory evidence and leaked classified material to the press. It was mostly illegal, of course, but, hey — when you learn politics in Chicago, the most corrupt city in the nation, laws are meant to be ignored. Unless, of course, they can help your side.
But the USS Russian Collusion hit an iceberg and is taking on water. Like any other rats deserting a sinking ship, the vermin in this incident are all looking out for Numero Uno, turning on the others. James Comey, Andy McCabe, James Clapper, John Brennan, Loretta Lynch and dozens more are all accusing one or more of the others of lying. Dozens have already been fired and are under investigation, more will surely follow. The stench of this trail leads all the way to the former president. He will doubtless assure us that, as with Hillary Clinton's illegal e-mail server, he didn't know anything about it until he saw it on the news. But he communicated with Hillary on that server, and there is that troubling email from Lisa Page to Peter Strzok (two of the main characters in this Mongolian cluster-hug): "POTUS wants to know everything we're doing." Everything. The whole thing was probably his idea, a perfect example of the "Chicago Way."
The fake news media were in on it from the get-go. They repeated all the lies as gospel, and some are still sticking with the lies. And plenty of fools believed, and even repeated, those lies. We've had one repeat the collusion lies in letters to this paper, over and over again. I could visualize him rubbing his hands together in anticipation at the thought of Trump being frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs.
But alas, it was not to be. In spite of the massive cheating, Hillary Clinton lost the election. Overnight, behavior the rats expected to be rewarded by Clinton became a liability. It is a classic case of projection, which Democrats have mastered. I believe the proper psychological term for it is "hot mess." It is, without a doubt, the worst political scandal in this country's short history.

Glenn Warciski, a freqent commenter on the Fifth Down and a man who has his own Giants blog, shared his thoughts on tomorrow's draft. Feel free to add your opinions on the Giants in the comments section.
What is the Giants' biggest need?
Defensive line. Michael Strahan may retire, three defensive linemen are no longer on the roster (William Joseph, Manny Wright and Adrian Awasom), and their best defensive tackle, Fred Robbins, is 31 years old. The Giants showed the NFL and the world that the antidote for prolific offenses is a good old-fashioned pass rush. Needless to say, I think Giants GM Jerry Reese selects a defensive lineman with the first pick to add depth to the roster.
The other area of need is cornerback. The NFL is now a passing league. A team needs quantity and quality in the defensive backfield. Despite playing well all year, cornerback Sam Madison is 34. Although he is under contract until 2010, I think this will be his last year with the Giants. Last year's No. 1 pick, Aaron Ross, is the other starter and is a keeper. Although Corey Webster shined at the end of the year and especially in the playoffs, he has to prove he can play an entire season at a high level. Therefore, because of age and uncertainty, I think the Giants will choose a cornerback with their second-round selection.
In a perfect world, which players will the Giants end up with in the early rounds?
1. DE Lawrence Jackson (USC Trojans) He can play end and defensive tackle.
WOW! YOU CALLED THE THOMAS PICK. VERY SURPRISED WE DRAFTED HIM BASED ON THE NUMBER OF HIS DOWNSIDES. DAN CONNOR IS STILL AVAILABLE ?? WEIRD WE DIDNT DRAFT HIM AND JUST PUSH HIM OVER TO OLB. HOPEFULLY BRUUUUUCE DAVIS FROM UCLA IS STILL AROUND FOR US TO TAKE IN THE THIRD ROUND. HE'S AN OUTSTANDING DE/LB HYBRID WE NEED.
WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT WR?
WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT OUR O-LINE?
Thomas is a very good player. Like Webster, he has a long arm span. He has good size and is a good tackler. GM Reese has stated in press conferences he wants competition in camp. Now, we have some competition at the corner position.
I am glad Reese drafted him. Recall, in the playoff game against Dallas, due to injury, we were so thin at CB. Pope, a practice squad player, was in the game at the end. In an interview, being that the Giants won, Strahan joked about telling Pope where to line up. Needless to say, Thomas is a welcome addition.
Michael, I do not think we need a LB. Kiwi is coming back. We have Pierce and Wilkinson. Last year's pick Zak DeOssie is no slouch. Please look for him to make an impression in training camp. We added Danny Clark for depth and special teams. Blackburn is a capable back up. Recall, before getting injured at the end of the 2005 season, he played very well when called in to start.
Bruce Davis is better suited for the 3-4 than the Giants 4-3. I think he is not a good fit for the G-men.
Langford has very good size. He can play both end and tackle.
Giants love Notre Dame players. Sullivan would be a good back up for O'Hara. Although we have Grey Reugamer, Grey is 32 years old. Again, adding Sullivan for competition.
We do have speed guys at WR Michael Jennings and Sinorice Moss. Hopefully, one of these guys can step up. Without question, we need a deep threat.
Please check out newerascouting.com. I think they have the best draft information site on the web.
I would like to clean up a comment I made about the linebacker position.
I think the need has been exaggerated. Do the Giants need depth at LB? Indeed, yes.
It is an urgent need? No.
If you visit my blog, I did predict the Giants would select a linebacker on day 2 of the draft.
Needless to say, with their 4th pick GM Reese selected LB Bryan Kehl.
I think he will add depth and play special teams.
If you listen to Reese on giants.com or read transcripts of his press conferences, he is all about creating competition at every position.
I think Kehl is a good pick up.
I did not think Manningham would have fallen into the Giants' laps.
I think this is a fantastic pick up. I think an early Christmas gift.
I am excited about this pick.
He is a deep threat whick I think adds value to the Giant offense.

Who knew the evil palms would make you feel so good?
The luxurious unisex mens inspired brand, Palmiers du Mal, released its Pre-Spring/Resort 2016 collection with 100% cashmere knits and sweaters, paired with tailored cotton button ups and tailored wool slacks.
Headed by Shane Fonner and Brandon Capps, who strengthened their skills at fashion houses like Billy Reid, Maison Kitsune, and Saturdays NYC, lend their passion for design and a Utopian life full of inspiration for the kinetic creative.
Focused on creating quality garments, Creative Director and travel writer, Shane Fonner, pushes his philosophical and travel insight a little further in his mens inspired pre-spring collection. The vibrant color schemes draw influence from Morocco, Brazil, and Mexico. They also incorporate brown, black, navy, and ecru to blend each so it works for every skin tone and eye color, creating diversity not only in gender but on a universal scale.
Fonner also plays with layers and shapes in the this collection. For him, the ability to layer up and down is important and stands as a focal point for the collection. Incorporating the New York winter weather conditions and casual classic style of the city, Fonner urges consumers to use their creativity to play with each piece. "This winter, despite the cold, I still really tried to not wear a jacket," he continued, "I would put on a giant chunky old cardigan over top of another sweater, which is over a button down shirt, and some kind of thick pants. Being able to wear cashmere is really really nice on the legs,so I try to make some interesting pieces." With Fonner's background in retail, he stands by the importance of knowing his consumer and creating pieces most practical and appealing to the consumer.
The pieces in the collection offer a variety of styles from pop overs, flag fronts, to camp collars and providing the same variety with price points. You can purchase Palmier du Mal on their website and C.H.C.M boutique.

Sustainable architecture restarts from wood
The construction industry is today protagonist of a major breakthrough, which will see the growth of architectural works with the lowest environmental impact realized with green materials. Wood is one of them.
In today's world we are increasingly aware of our relationship to the world around us, both our individual and collective impact on our environment and how we too are shaped by our surroundings.
We all have choices to make every day and it is crucial for us to prioritize sustainability in our personal and professional lives. This is particularly important in the built environment, where biophilic design, construction processes and the use of green materials, such as wood, can create buildings with the lowest possible environmental impact.
Italy, as demonstrated through developments such as IBM Studios Pavilion, or the Vertical Nest and Corso Como Place in Milan Porta Nuova, is leading the way in the adoption of advanced building techniques with minimal environmental impact.
The architect Lee Polisano, founder of PLP Architecture studio, explains how a sustainable approach and the use of wood are fundamental into modern architecture, opening new possibilities for energy savings, emission control and minimizing the whole supply chain's environmental impact.
Lee Polisano
In an era when the global population is rapidly growing, we are increasingly focused on our responsibility towards the environment and future generations. What does it mean for you to design cities in a sustainable way?
"We are using our natural resources at an unsustainable rate. Developed countries require more and more of the Earth's natural resources to sustain their economic and political status while emerging countries are doing the same in order to elevate their populations to a higher standard of health, education and shelter, thus creating a real "competition for resources". Moreover, looking at the projected population increases in the next thirty years as well as the projected growth in our global mega cities, it is clear that we are facing big problems. We must advocate for both social change and greater responsibility when it comes to how we use the Earth's resources to build our future cities, using new technology to solve existing and emerging challenges to dramatically improve the environmental, social and economic role of buildings. We must react to solve existing and emerging challenges, make use of new technologies and to continuously introduce improvements that will have not only an environmental impact, but also a social and economic benefit, also with the support of new technologies."
In this sense, many architects are returning to the use of green materials, like wood, that do not require much energy to be produced and that can be recycled and reused in the future. How do you evaluate the real potential and benefits of wood after years of steel and concrete buildings?
"We devote a considerable amount of research to the use of alternative, more sustainable materials such as wood in commercial and large-scale buildings. We see great possibilities. Wood has been a traditional building material for centuries. We need to focus on ways to manufacture and use these materials as well, but in a more environmentally friendly and less carbon consuming way."
Basic wood is not resistant or strong enough to sustain very tall structures, which is why CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) has been conceived. Do you think CLT could be a valid alternative material through which to build skyscrapers and other kind of buildings comparable to steel and concrete ones? And what are the tangible benefits deriving from it?
Sky Central, London
"Laminating timber for the purpose of giving it greater strength and versatility in modern construction is not a new technology. CLT, however, has opened up new possibilities because its physical composition can be pre-engineered to address very specific structural challenges if needs be. We see major possibilities for using CLT as part of a composite construction, mixing it with steel or concrete for use in tall buildings. This is something we have been doing on many of our new buildings, for example our building for Sky TV in London."
There is a concern that this material can be a fire hazard. Is an innovative wood as CLT, a cross-laminated solid wooden panel, actually more fire-resistant? And how can you compare its effect on wood vs the steel's one?
"It is possible to engineer CLT in a manner that gives it the sufficient fire resistance it needs for certain building applications. Every material has its failure point and this is a matter that needs to be considered carefully at the outset of each project. We should not assume that, just because it is made from wood, the material is subject to greater fire hazards or greater failures. This is not the case."
The second, but not less important observation, concerns the topic of deforestation. Can wooden buildings actually be defined as sustainable, with regard to raw materials' recovery modes? In view of the growing use of wood in architecture, are there any recovery actions planned, which can at the same time fight the deforestation phenomenon, thus making sure that the entire production cycle is sustainable?
"Most wood used in modern construction is of the soft wood variety that grows quickly and lends itself to sustainable farming practices. Growing trees also captures carbon from the atmosphere. Deforestation globally is predominantly the result of damaging political policies that neglect to provide adequate protection and management of our forests and our environment, not a direct consequence of housebuilding."
Oakwood Timber Tower is a research project made by your studio together with Cambridge University: we are talking about a 300 meters high wooden tower placed on top of one of London's iconic buildings, the Barbican. What are the goals you set yourselves in conceiving this ambitious project and what sustainability intents do you want to obtain with its realization?
Oakwood Timber Tower
"The objectives were very simple: to promote an awareness of the possibilities of using wood as a major structural material for large scale commercial projects and to advocate for greater research and development in the applications of this material."
One of your last projects is Corso Como Place in Milan, which allows us to talk about another relevant topic for sustainable building: energy saving. Why the choice to adopt geothermal energy in this building?
"The Corso Como Place Project has actually allowed us to promote a great number of sustainable practices. First, we are reusing an existing building's structural frame, a good starting point for environmental impact. The project also employs composite construction techniques using CLT as part of the new building's structural systems, something which helps our sustainability objectives and pushes innovation, which is now needed throughout the industry. We have also incorporated numerous other sustainable applications to enable this project to achieve a positively reduced carbon footprint. For example, we are using the groundwater below the buildings as a thermal exchange. This is an incentive to promote innovation and a sustainable minimal carbon approach to buildings."
In this regard, a more general conclusion: will Milan become a laboratory for new sustainable building design and processes? Do you see any differences to other European or world cities where you have worked?
"Definitely, the starting point of course is to have good, sound and achievable political policies that ensure the delivery of more sustainable solutions in the built environment. In addition to this we need to recognize that a sensitive approach to the environment is only one factor in making our cities better. Milan offers interesting possibilities. It has a unique combination of old and new and as such offers an approach to renewal as a form of sustainable development for the future. It is also a relatively compact city and, in this regard, offers good possibilities for more sustainable and smarter strategies in terms of transport and infrastructure: it has numerous opportunities within its central areas to redevelop brownfield industrial sites that can be rewoven into its urban fabric. These areas in particular offer us great potential to promote smart, sustainable, carbon negative solutions combined with a much more informed approach to promoting a fully inclusive society. I am optimistic."
Cities of tomorrow seem to be finally ready to welcome the big challenge to sustainability thanks to the rediscovery of natural materials and the skillful work of architects able to value them. Thus Milan, from this point of view, proposes itself as the leading city of a tendency in expansion, a real laboratory of an architecture finally oriented to innovation and sustainability.
We are using our natural resources at an unsustainable rate. We must advocate for both social change and greater responsibility when it comes to how we use the Earth's resources to build our future cities

Q: Compare Products link or button does not work in Magento 1.9.3.2 I have added a product comparison link but it doesn't work. This is in Magento 1.9.3.2
My issues are almost identical to this post, with the exception that clearing the index did not work.
Is there anything else I can try?
Here are the issues:
When I click "Add to Compare" on a product, a message stating that such-and-such product successfully added to compare list appears. However the compare products sidebar shows "You have no items to compare. But it's not working any more.

A: It looks like your Magento DB does not have report_compared_product_index table.
Import the following SQL to create this table structure in your DB.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `report_compared_product_index` (
  `index_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'Index Id',
  `visitor_id` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Visitor Id',
  `customer_id` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Customer Id',
  `product_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'Product Id',
  `store_id` smallint(5) unsigned DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Store Id',
  `added_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' COMMENT 'Added At'
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Reports Compared Product Index Table' AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

ALTER TABLE `report_compared_product_index`
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (`index_id`),
  ADD UNIQUE KEY `UNQ_REPORT_COMPARED_PRODUCT_INDEX_VISITOR_ID_PRODUCT_ID` (`visitor_id`,`product_id`),
  ADD UNIQUE KEY `UNQ_REPORT_COMPARED_PRODUCT_INDEX_CUSTOMER_ID_PRODUCT_ID` (`customer_id`,`product_id`),

— японский самурайский род.

История
Род Акита происходил из Северного Хонсю, родоначальником клана считался Абэ но Садато (1019—1062). Первоначально клан Акита был известен как клан Андо (安東氏). В период Камакура род Акита правил районом Цугару в провинции Муцу, охранял северные японские владения и контролировал торговлю с айнами на Хоккайдо (Эдзо).

В период Сэнгоку клан Андо был изгнан кланом Намбу и переселился в соседнюю провинцию Дэва. Андо Тикасуэ (1539—1587) изменил имя клана на «Акита». Акита Санэсуэ (1576—1660) стал первым даймё из рода Акита в период Эдо. В 1602 году Токугава Иэясу перевел Акиту Санэсуэ в домен Сисидо-хан в провинции Хитати с доходом 50 000 коку. В 1630 года Акита Санэсуэ был отстранен бакуфу от власти в княжестве и отправлен в ссылку в провинцию Исэ.

В 1631 году Санэсуэ наследовал его сын, Акита Тосисуэ (1598—1649), 2-й даймё Сисидо-хана. В 1645 году Тосисуэ был переведен в Михару-хан в провинции Муцу (доход 50 000 коку). Потомки Тосисуэ управляли княжеством Михару до конца периода Эдо.

Последним даймё Михару-хана был Акита Акисуэ (1858—1907), правивший в 1865—1871 годах. В 1868 году Акита Акисуэ участвовал в создании Северного союза, направленного против императорского правительства Мэйдзи, но затем перешел на сторону императора и помогал императорским силам подчинять северные области Хонсю. После Реставрации Мэйдзи Акита, как и все другие даймё, был освобожден от должности, а его территории была создана префектура. В 1884 году бывший даймё Акита Акисуэ получил титул виконта (сисяку).

Open Letter to the Senators of the Association of Amherst Students
By Karu Kozuma
I write to ask you to review the Judiciary Council's decision about sanctions for the Amherst College Republicans. I recognize that you, the Association of Amherst Students (AAS), are a separately-incorporated organization that represents and serves the students of Amherst College. The administration does not interfere in your rightful decision-making.
I do have a responsibility, however, to point out the problems I see in the recent measures taken by your Judiciary Council. I ask that the AAS Senate and the student body as a whole take the following points into consideration.
First, neither the Judiciary Council nor the AAS has the authority to enforce the Amherst College Honor Code, which is cited as a foundational basis for the punitive measures that were announced. Only the Office of Community Standards in Student Affairs can adjudicate violations of the code. Second, the measures may have ripple effects that are punitive of other students and student organizations that have no relation to the underlying incident you addressed in the measures. To have their executive boards affected when there has been no related process for those organizations to access seems ill-advised. Third, I am concerned that there may also have been some procedural anomalies. I hope the Senate will reconsider the measures taken and the basis on which decisions were made. Fourth, there is no doubt that the campus community would benefit from more education and genuine discussion of the issues raised by this and other incidents of bias. However, there are questions whether mandated sensitivity training is the best approach.
Finally, with respect to the report submitted by the Judiciary Council to the Office of Community Standards, the college takes possible violations of community standards seriously and is already reviewing this incident.

193 – What is the most optimal VTE prophylaxis in patients with multiple orthopaedic injuries?
Abdulaziz Aljurayyan, Ahmed Alabdali, Ryan K Harrison.
Response/Recommendation: Although multiple forms of prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism (VTE) with variable effectiveness are available for patients with multiple orthopedic injuries, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is considered the most optimal choice based on available literature.
Strength of Recommendation: Acceptable.
Rationale: VTE events following multiple orthopaedic injuries are associated with significant morbidity and mortality1,2. The prevalence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in trauma patients without prophylactic treatment can reach up to 60%. Pulmonary embolism (PE) can be a fatal form of VTE with prevalence ranging between 2-16%3,4. VTE can be prevented using different mechanical and chemical prophylaxis agents, therefore, significantly lower the burden on healthcare systems worldwide1. The aim of this review is to find the most optimal VTE prophylaxis in patients with multiple orthopaedic injuries.
Multiple orthopaedic injuries rarely happen without extra-skeletal injuries, therefore, no studies in the current literature addressed VTE prophylaxis in patients with multiple orthopaedic injuries but without extra-skeletal injuries. Most of the available literature is addressing this patient population under different groups including, patients with trauma, poly-trauma, high energy fractures, and lower extremity injuries1–3,5–7. The level of evidence varies among the reviewed literature, however, randomized controlled clinical trials in this subject are limited3,4.
Based on our review, LMWH is considered the most optimal VTE prophylaxis in patients with multiple orthopaedic injuries1,3,5,6,8–14. Ley et al., recommends using LMWH due to its increased bioavailability, acceptably low bleeding complications and longer plasma half-life1. Rogers et al., published in their guidelines for prevention of VTE in trauma patients that LMWH has superior bioavailability when compared to low dose heparin (LDH)5. Knudson et al., concluded in a prospective, randomized trial that LMWH is an extremely effective and safe method in preventing DVT in high-risk trauma patients15. Geerts et al., also concluded in a randomized double-blinded study that LMWH was more effective than LDH in preventing VTE after major trauma16. Aggarwal et al., concluded in their guidelines for prevention of VTE in hospitalized patients with pelvis and acetabular fractures that LMWH is the preferred agent of choice8.
In the updated Western Trauma Association (WTA) guidelines to reduce VTE in trauma patients1, LMWH was the recommended agent of choice for most trauma patients with a standard dose of 40 mg subcutaneously twice daily. However, in some cases such as obese patients, they recommended weight-based dosing at 0.5 mg to 0.6 mg/kg twice daily1. Timing of administration of LMWH is critical to achieve the optimal prophylaxis desired. It should be given to patients as soon as risk of bleeding is low to avoid complications1,3,11,17. According to Ley et al., pharmacologic prophylaxis should be started as soon as possible within 24 hours after injury1.
Fondaparinux18 is a synthetic penta-saccharide drug that potentiates activity of antithrombin III that inhibits factor Xa. With a common dosage of 2.5 mg daily subcutaneously, this chemical prophylaxis showed promising results in elective orthopaedic surgery such as arthroplasty19. However, several issues have been raised to debate its safety in trauma patients18,20. Therefore, further studies are required to prove its safety and efficacy in trauma5.
Another method of prophylaxis is the use of mechanical prophylaxis in form of pneumatic compression devices (PCD) which was promoted by the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) workgroup practice management guidelines for the prevention of VTE in trauma patients3, especially in patients where chemical prophylaxis is contraindicated1,6–8,21. PCD can be used as an adjunct with chemical prophylaxis in moderate and high-risk patients1,10,22,23. The combination has shown lower incidence of symptomatic PE according to Ley et al1. High-risk patients include those with hemodynamic instability, active bleeding, and head trauma1,5,8. The use of mechanical prophylaxis without chemical prophylaxis in the absence of contraindication to chemical prophylaxis is not recommended according to multiple studies2,7.
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are another form of prophylaxis against VTE4,24, although they are not without risk. It has an established role as an adjunct to LMWH in patients with DVT to prevent PE8. However, multiple studies recommend the use of IVC filters to be reserved for patients who cannot receive any form of prophylaxis or patients undergoing urgent surgery5,6,25. Khansarinia et al., concluded that insertion of IVC filter in multiply injured high-risk patients contributed to lower incidence and mortality rates of fatal and non-fatal PE24.

By Babatis Banda: It is disheartening to see one of the biggest fights in boxing never take place due to a promoter. First, Bob Arum has been preoccupied in making Floyd Mayweather Jr. look bad, than a real effort towards making the biggest fight happen. Now, we are told that Arum says Manny Pacquiao will face Juan Manuel Marquez for the fourth time before he can fight Floyd.
What comes in my mind is; what is Pacquiao going to prove in a fourth fight that he couldn't in three? Why can't Pacquiao have the fourth grudge match with Marquez after Floyd?
Simple logic will tell you that Arum and Freddy Roach have been cleverly getting the best out of Manny while it lasted. A fight with Floyd would definitively end the Manny era and Arum and Roach understands this very well. Roach and Arum have marketed and made millions out of the Pacman, it would be stupid to let the cash cow go without ensuring that no more milk can be milked. By the time Roach and Arum are done with the Pacman, he will just be a shell of himself with just a name from his past. We have seen this before, and it is not strange.
Now all we are hearing are excuses that Manny has too much on his hands. The fact is that, if there is any boxer that usually has too much in his hands, it is Floyd. Floyd creates his own web, entangle himself in it, but he always has a way out. Floyd has come out of long lay-offs and has picked strong opposition and destroyed it. We do not need any roadblocks to this fight any more.
True lovers of the sport should object Arums decision of having a fourth Marquez/Manny fight, barely minutes after their third grudge match which Manny couldn't account himself any better than the first two. Manny is not distracted in anyway, he has not changed in anyway, that is the real Manny when he faces somebody who thinks in the ring. I can't see Manny throwing a thousand punches against Floyd because the pay-back would be unbearable for him. We saw Manny check his aggression when Marques was nailing him with hard rights, right on the button. Floyd would do that over and over until he is red faced.
Without having to become a philosopher, it is easy to see why Manny has never pushed hard for a fight against Floyd, he always remains in the back-ground and plays the good fellow. That performance we saw against Marquez would be pure suicide against the vexed Floyd Mayweather junior, and it explains the difficulty of this fight ever being made. Arum however, should never ever get away with it, and he will frantically try to make the fight when he knows that Manny has no more to offer.

Clem Blazewick
Clem Blazewick was drafted in June 1965 and departed San Francisco for Southeast Asia on Christmas day, right before the big build up of forces in Vietnam. Narrowly escaping duty as a medic with the Marines near the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ), he was assigned to be a medical laboratory technician at the 93rd Evacuation Hospital in Long Bien, about 20 miles north of Saigon. Clem worked on wounded servicemen, and every day he saw serious casualties. On occasion he assisted in autopsies of dead servicemen. One soldier that stands out in his memory is Charley from Colorado, who miraculously survived after losing both legs, parts of both arms, and receiving 66 pints of blood.
In the Spring of 2013, we continued our effort to promote oral history in the schools by inviting Vietnam veteran Clem Blazewick and five other local veterans to meet with the high school students of the Winchester-Thurston School in Pittsburgh.
Students in US History and Advanced Placement US History worked to gather and interpret the memories and stories of the veterans who served between 1941-1973. The students completed intensive preparation, including workshops on the oral history process, lectures on special considerations when interviewing veterans, active listening, and oral history ethics.
From there, students learned about the context of their veterans' service and collaboratively developed a list of interview questions. Working as a team, students then conducted the oral history interviews. Afterward, the students used the stories they collected to help them understand the human dimensions of war, combat, and the veteran experience in general.
Mr. Blazewick was interviewed by Manoli Epitropulos, Noah Dumaine-Schutz, Alexa Urbach, and Nikhil Mohan–each student only slightly younger than Clem was when he shipped off to Vietnam. "When he was drafted he didn't necessarily think [the war] was that bad of an idea," said one of the students. "But by the end of his enlistment, after seeing so much bloodshed, Mr. Blazewick's opinion changed. He admitted, 'I don't know if war is worth all the lives.'"

Inbitcoin releases the Lighter open source software for LN apps
Marco Cavicchioli
The announcement was made on Twitter: Inbitcoin released Lighter, an open source software for Lightning Network app developers.
1/inbitcoin released Lighter, its first open source software designed with developers in mind.
Lighter proposes itself as a middleware between the main LN implementations and LApps interfaces. Project link: https://t.co/vs2WwQ9PJ9
— inbitcoin (@inbitcoin) December 11, 2018
Lighter is a middleware between Lightning Network and the so-called LApps, or apps developed to work on LN.
Technically it is a wrapper of the Lightning Network node and provides a uniform interface for the main LN implementations, allowing the client code to be agnostic about which node is running, this way the focus can be placed on the functionality.
Zoe Faltibà, who worked on the project, explains:
"Lighter hides the differences between the various implementations by providing the user with a simple, consistent and stable interface. This facilitates the work of LApp developers by providing several advantages, including the ability to develop an application without relying on a specific LN implementation. The available implementations are in fact changing frequently in this initial phase of LN technology: with the advent of much more complex but extremely useful features, such as the simultaneous use of multiple LN implementations with shared channels, Lighter could play a key role in taking advantage of the benefits offered by these new possibilities".
The project was born from a necessity of Inbitcoin: after having evaluated several existing middleware, they haven't found one that worked in the same way on all the implementations related to the project.
Faltibà continues:
"During the development, we realized that using indifferently c-lightning, eclair and lnd could be useful for other developers of LN applications, so we decided to release Lighter as an open source project, a philosophy that we embrace and that is the basis of the Bitcoin and Lightning Network technologies themselves. Opening the code to the public is important because it allows us to give back to the community, on which our work is based".
In fact, Lighter itself is the result of an idea and development of the Italian company Inbitcoin, but it is an open source project, designed for an international audience, documented in English, and for which the company is ready to receive collaborations from around the world.
The commitment was all Italian, but the inspiration comes from all the open projects already existing in the world.
Faltibà specifies:
"We aimed at standards, both consolidated and emerging, in line with the principles of Bitcoin and LN. So the implementation choices are also outward-looking and have led to an accessible language like Python, communication protocols like protobuf and gRPC, and innovative authorization systems like Macaroons. We use Lighter internally for our LN applications, for example, in a black box composed of a full bitcoin node, a LN node and Lighter. Use cases that we foresee for other users are the reusability of the code on multiple projects with different LN implementations or the prototyping of LApps before deepening the knowledge of specific implementations. The interface exposed is in any case neutral both with respect to the purpose for which Lighter is used and with respect to the LN implementation chosen, so the use cases are basically all those made possible by LN itself".
Moreover, according to Faltibà, in the next years the word LApp could become part of the common jargon in the crypto world, or even disappear, because if LN is everywhere then the L in LApp may become superfluous.
"In any case, the important part is the broad and very extensive diffusion of LN applications [i.e. LApps], even more important than the applications based on Bitcoin but of which they represent the evolution for everyday life. Off-chain solutions will soon be the preferred in everyday life, especially before the on-chain ones".
"The tools that existed before Lighter required a high investment of resources to be used in projects that aim at a complete set of features. So they were enough to make proofs of concept, less suitable for a shelf-top product that was important for widespread use. With Lighter, it is easier and more convenient to access the functionalities offered by LN technology as a developer. In the future, other projects will surely emerge that will make it intuitive to create increasingly versatile services, rarely interacting with the technological layers at a lower level, and we will certainly meet (or develop) many of them in our research".

Indian president says new laws protect farmers' rights
Ram Nath Kovind, nominated presidential candidate of Indiau2019s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), gestures as he attends an International Yoga Day event in New Delhi, India June 21, 2017. File Photo: Reuters
MUMBAI: Three farm laws passed by the Indian government provide farmers new rights along with protecting their existing rights and facilities, the country's President Ram Nath Kovind told parliament on Friday.
Angry at what they see as laws that benefit large private buyers at the expense of growers, tens of thousands of farmers have been camped peacefully at sites on the outskirts of Delhi for more than two months.

But a procession of tractors on Tuesday when the country was marking its founding as a republic turned violent when some protesters deviated from pre-agreed routes, tearing down barricades and clashing with police who responded with tear gas.
The violation of law and order on Republic Day was very unfortunate, Kovind said.

On our way from North Carolina to Christchurch, New Zealand we had a 10 hour lay over in Sydney, Australia! We took the train from the airport to the bay, ate at a restaurant on King Street Warf overlooking the water, toured inside the Sydney Opera house, and walked the Royal Botanic Gardens. We were exhausted after the 14 hour flight but stoked to be on a new continent! While there, I was lucky enough to photograph two couples for a few minutes in front of the iconic building. One was on their honeymoon and the other was in town visiting family. I feel so luck to meet couples from all over the world and photograph in the most beautiful places! Being a traveling elopement and couple's photographer has been a dream and I can't wait to keep sharing photos from our time in New Zealand!

Yesterday, the spousal unit put in work for the city as an exit pollster for the LA Times. As her day wore on, she had no idea which way the race was going. This morning, we have normality. Or so it would seem.
The notable experience she brought from her outpost in South LA was twofold. Firstly, most people don't like to talk about whom they vote for. If you ever had suspicions about there being a silent majority, they are hereby confirmed. Maybe 1 out of 8 or 1 out of 12 people were speaking to her at all.
Secondly, paperwork associated with voting is a huge headache. She collected a good number of survey sheets but a significant percentage of them were spoiled and had to be disregarded.
I get the feeling this kind of stuff is rather commonplace. It only goes to assure me that it is our confidence in the democratic process rather than the mechanics of the process itself which delivers us from evil. And considering that only 30% of us showed up at the polls yesterday, it's a slim margin of confidence after all. But what's done is done, and for better or worse, we have proven once again that we can have an orderly transition of power. Way to go.
As for Villaraigosa himself, I'm with the 70% who didn't feel it was necessary to say anything. I'm glad some people will get a kick out of him, being Hispanic and all. But I'm of the notion that he won't be as chauvinist about it as people make out. He clearly had the energy and the spirit during the campaign, but I found him to be a bit too opportunistic. Let's see if he can bring as much good news as he chronicled Hahn's bad.
Villaraigosa is a winner without a mandate. Nobody elected him to do anything special. We all know we need to raise taxes and get more (not just a couple hundred but 7-10 thousand) cops on the street to make the community policing initiative truly work. We all know he's lacking the the testicular fortitude to do so as was Hahn. He's talked a good game about transportation, but the Gov snaked him with a billion and a half of extra state revenues. V is not going to turn around the declining state of our health care provision either.
Villaraigosa is mayor. So let us continue to expect nothing and we won't be disappointed. Oh yeah, and keep an ear open for ethnic humor.


While there is a tendency to look back and reminisce, looking back can often get us into trouble. In fact it can be fatal. The danger of disciples of Christ looking back is an oft-repeated warning in the Bible.
The context involves three different people who wanted to follow Jesus. The first man was a scribe (Matt 8:19) who said, "Lord I will follow you wherever you go." But when Jesus responded, Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." The man recanted. Apparently, that kind of lifestyle wasn't for him. Maybe he had a nice home and enjoyed a comfortable, easy life. Being a disciple of Christ involved too much self-sacrifice.
The second man was actually called by Jesus. What an honor. However, he replied, "Let me go and bury my father." Jesus retorted, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God." In other words, let those who have no interest in spiritual matters attend to this physical chore.
While this on the surface sounds harsh, Barclay suggests that perhaps his father hadn't died yet. Traditionally, the Jews buried their dead on the very day of their death. So, why was this man among the crowd as Jesus passed by?
It seems what all of these men had in common was excuses. They had a problem with priorities. They were lacking loyalty to the Lord. Their attention was diverted. Their hearts were divided. Their focus was distracted. Their "commitment" lacked true devotion. Dedication. And denial of self-interest.
The problem of looking back is nothing new. It is as old as Lot's wife, who disobeyed the Lord and longingly looked back at the sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah , which they were commanded to leave behind.
Don't look back at your sinful life. Don't yearn for those days again. Leave them behind. Your ungodly friends. Your lustful habits. Your worldly ways. Your materialistic goals. Your carnal attitudes. Forget them. Don't look back.
As a boy growing up on the farm in central Indiana, I can relate to Jesus' analogy of plowing a straight furrow. You don't look back. If you do, it will be crooked. You keep your eyes straight ahead. Dad taught me to pick an object to fix my eyes on in front of me. A fence post. A tree. Something to direct focus ahead. Not behind.
The watchword of the Bible, of true discipleship, is "Forward." Keep moving forward. In this vein, Paul proclaimed, "I press on toward the goal." In fact, he said that he forgot the past (Phil 3:12-15). Past problems. Past mistakes. Past sins. Past decisions. Don't look back.
It's the truth. It's possible to go to church but look back at where you'd rather be. It's possible to give but look back at how you could use the money for yourself. It's possible to live a good life but look back and wistfully yearn for the "fun" you're missing.
Let Jesus' words ring in your ears. Don't look back.
Ken, your articles often have uncanny timing! I'm preparing to teach our ladies' class tomorrow on surrendering our lives to Jesus and was studying this very verse to use. Thank you for such a great explanation.
Thanks, Aleta. Glad it was timely. And helpful. God bless.
Ken, I ALWAYS enjoy your daily message. They help me so much. You often mention Barclay, William Barclay. Does he have books or commentaries that I could purchase? Thank you.
Yes, Pam, he has several books including his Daily Bible Study series, a commentary on the N.T. It is not in-depth, but is more a devotional commentary. But I like it. He has some good observations and does a good job on word studies and historical background. You can order it from Florida College bookstore. Or, it is available through some computer programs like the PC Bible Study by Bible Soft.

Rogers confirms plans to support eSIMs this year
Canada's most subscribed telecom has plans to introduce embedded SIMs (eSIMs) this year.
Rogers confirmed the plans to MobileSyrup, stating that it will update customers as it gets closer to that time. Support of eSIMs means the carrier may begin offering the Apple Watch 3, which uses the technology for LTE wireless service. Bell launched the wearable and eSIM support in September 2017, while Telus' offering came onto the market in December 2017.
eSIMs, as the name suggests, are embedded in the device and cannot be physically removed. Instead, eSIMs are programmed and reprogrammed digitally, when necessary.
We have plans to support eSIM this year, and we will update our customers as we get closer to that time. ^mh
— RogersHelps (@RogersHelps) January 1, 2018
In addition to the convenience of not having to physically purchase or swap SIMs, eSIMs are ideal for small form factors that don't have space for a SIM tray.
Bell recently partnered with G+D Mobile Security on a new eSIM solution that's in-line with the GSMA's eSIM standard and will allow it to pursue "further emerging devices."
Research firm IHS Markit posited in 2017 that second and third-tier smartphone makers will start incorporating eSIMs as of 2018 while major manufacturers like Apple, Samsung and Huawei will likely to follow in 2019. The results, according to the firm, will be the gradual decline of removable SIMs, from 98 percent of the total market last year to 84 percent by 2021.
Last year, MobileSyrup contributor Peter Nowak predicted eSIM adoption among Canadian carriers could also lead to cheaper data plans, and greater freedom for customers to switch between service providers.
